Peeved Wayne Rooney’s got what he asked for

He handed in a transfer request – sparking Stretford End fears of a mega-money move to Man City – because in his opinion Alex Ferguson wasn’t buying good enough players.

“The club gave him what he wanted – better players and in particular RVP, a better player than him.”

A year later and Robin van Persie arrived at Old Trafford, scored bundles of goals, virtually single-handedly winning the Premier League title and quickly became United’s main man. Rooney is now peeved because he’s no longer top dog at OT. He only has himself to blame.

The club gave him what he wanted – better players and in particular RVP, a better player than him.

Somehow, though, I can’t see Rooney going to Chelsea simply because David Moyes surely won’t risk a blue-shirted Rooney parading the Premier League title around Stamford Bridge next May.
